The Lake County Commissioners announced on August 25 that the Lake County Mobile Food Pantry will continue to offer free vegetables to Lake County seniors with weekly distributions at locations throughout the region. On Tuesdays from 10 to 11 a.m., Laketran will deliver goods to the neighbourhood in a 12-person Dial-a-Ride modified with shelving in place of standard passenger seating.

Commissioner John Hamercheck remarked, “We are lucky to have the resources to support our seniors. “I would want to thank everyone who helped with the execution of this excellent service. The Wickliffe Senior Center, the Laketran Mentor Park-n-Ride, the Lake Erie Church of God in Madison, New Hope Baptist Church in Painesville, and the distribution dates through March 2023 were just announced by Laketran.

According to Commissioner John Plecnik, “it is certainly a great joy to witness exactly how hard our community works to ensure that every resident of the county is supported.” “God’s job is being done by our volunteers.” The board stated that seniors 60 years of age and above may sign up for one pickup per month. Participants must attest that their annual gross household income for households of one and two is at or below $25,759 and $34,839, respectively. For the 100 spaces available each week, pre-registration is necessary.
